309: Tang Guoan learned of Chu Ling's existence!

I don't know how long passed, but the study returned to quietness...

Just as Tang Guoan, looking exhausted as if he'd lost all his strength, slumped in his computer chair in a 'Ge You Lie' pose, his peripheral vision caught the time displayed in the bottom right corner of the computer.

His eyes immediately lit up, and he excitedly jumped up from his spot.

"Wahahahaha~~~"

"..."

Looking at the time, which was much longer than before, Tang Guoan was overjoyed.

This feeling of becoming stronger, it's truly... so cool!!!!! ٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶

At this moment, Tang Guoan's eyes were slightly red; he was so emotional he almost shed tears of old age...

After composing himself, he put his pants back on and tiptoed, preparing to return to his room the same way he came.

Because he had experienced this many times, Tang Guoan wasn't flustered; he knew his wife was still sleeping like a dead pig and wouldn't notice his departure...

"What are you doing? | _・)"

Just then, a sudden questioning voice echoed in the silent study, making Tang Guoan stiffen all over, his blood seemingly stopping in an instant.

Click, click!

He stiffly turned his neck and saw a familiar figure suddenly appear at the study door...

"Wife, you, you... you're not asleep yet?"

"Hehe... I just got up to use the restroom! But you, what are you doing secretly running into the study in the middle of the night to 'play with yourself'?"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Tang Guoan shook his head frantically, denying everything, and with a flash of inspiration, he quickly concocted a reason.

"I just couldn't sleep, and I suddenly wanted to listen to the new song released by [L], and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I came to the study to be quiet..."

"Alright! It's getting late, and I'm feeling a bit sleepy now!"

"(_ _)(-.-)(~O~)...(-.-) *Yawn*~~~ Let's go back to the room to rest! We still have to get up early for work tomorrow!"

"..."

Glancing at the large wads of paper in the trash can, Xu Shuyun's gaze was deep, and she didn't expose her husband's flimsy lie.

She just felt a renewed sense of awe for Lin Xuan's mysteriousness.

Then she handed the paternity test report for Chu Ling and her directly to Tang Guoan, whose head was full of question marks...

"Hmm? Wife (O_o), what is this?"

"Hiss~~~ Paternity test report? Huh!!! Why does this girl show a parent-child relationship with you?!"

"Holy crap! (•́へ•́╬) Wife, did you cheat? Did you cuckold me? Tell me, who is the adulterer?!"

"..."

When Tang Guoan saw the specific content on the report, he was furious and was about to glare at Xu Shuyun and question why she had wronged him...

Slap, slap, slap!!!!!

Several big slaps landed on his face, and Tang Guoan immediately sobered up quite a bit, looking at the expressionless Xu Shuyun with a red and swollen face, feeling wronged.

"Are you more awake now?"

"I'm awake. Ծ ‸ Ծ"

"Then shut up! (⊙x⊙;) Listen to me give you the long story short..."

"..."

Just like that, except for the matter of [Heart's Voice], Xu Shuyun recounted everything she had seen and heard at the hospital that afternoon, as well as the conspiracy of the two children being swapped in Chu Family Village eighteen years ago, to Tang Guoan in detail.

A moment later, the man, who now knew the whole story, widened his eyes and sat dumbfounded in the computer chair.

"How could this be? It's impossible..."

"Tang Rou isn't our biological daughter, but Chu Ling is? How could this be..."

"God is playing such a joke? Am I still dreaming? Are you sure this paternity test report is real? No problems?"

"..."

Tang Guoan clutched his forehead in pain, muttering to himself.

He never would have imagined... that Tang Rou, whom he had cherished and raised since childhood, was not his biological daughter, but the offspring of that wicked couple.

As for his biological daughter, Chu Ling, she had been abused by that wicked couple since she was a child, living in dire straits, enduring a tragic childhood of hunger and occasional fullness.

Now she even has stomach cancer, and her life is hanging by a thread... This truly is... a cruel twist of fate!!!!

At this moment.

Tang Guoan's mind was in a turmoil; the sudden explosive news caused his brain to crash.

He had no idea how to... face that unfamiliar daughter who had suddenly appeared...

Two and a half minutes later, Tang Guoan, having calmed down a bit, pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"Tomorrow, we'll go to the hospital together; I want to see the child first."

"If there's a chance... let's bring that child home! No matter what, we can't let her suffer out there any longer."

"Especially since Xiao Ling is currently with my Nephew, there's no telling when she might be harmed by him..."

"..."

Tang Guoan's prejudice was deep; he always felt that Lin Xuan was not a good person.

Therefore, for safety's sake, he decided to bring his biological daughter home first, regardless of the circumstances.

"Xiao Xuan... he's not quite the same anymore."

"I personally visited him at the hospital this afternoon, and he truly is our daughter's savior; you shouldn't look at him with such prejudice anymore."

Xu Shuyun frowned, not wanting her husband to provoke Lin Xuan again; if she could choose... she even hoped to see the two shake hands and make peace, which would be entirely beneficial to the Tang Family...

"Merit is merit, and fault is fault. The two cannot be conflated, nor can they cancel each other out."

"Besides, people can disguise themselves. How long have you known him? Perhaps that kid is deliberately putting on a show in front of you to deceive you?"

"Didn't we all fall for his appearance back then?"

"We thought he was just a bit extreme in personality, but actually a decent person. Who would have thought he could do something so beastly..."

"..."

Recalling the harm Tang Rou had suffered, Tang Guoan was filled with anger and adamantly refused to believe in Lin Xuan's so-called change of heart...
